Great FPV tablet for my drone program!
4 Stars
Great FPV tablet for my drone program!
Okay............I bought this tablet for one purpose mainly and that is to have FPV with my drones. That said I have loaded my appware and software needed to run diagnostics; keep track of flights; maintenance; and records. The Shield is pleasantly thin for my needs and the screen very vivid and ample sized. It is a 8" diagonal screen and not a side to side 8" screen for those like me who want to know prior to buying. The system is very quick as far as the processor is concerned and I utilize a Sony cell phone charging connector as my source to charge and it works fine. I also ordered a rubberized Poetic cover which is yet to arrive but I am sure it will fit the bill for me. Now to the bad. I am not a gamer which this tablet was intended so I cannot comment on gaming folks, sorry. What I do dislike and why it received only 4 stars is two things for me........1) A fairly weak WiFi signal pickup ability. To those wondering what I am referring to. My back deck is where I will start some drone missions which is about 45 feet direct line through my house from the office where the router is located. And from that I get a broken signal! Now mind you everything else I have had whether cell phone or tablet has had no issue what so ever picking up at that distance. So to remedy this I had a signal booster by Netgear I placed in my kitchen to catch the WiFi signal to send another 10-15 feet or so to my back deck which is off the kitchen. Now I get a signal. To me that is a very weak signal the Shield can receive for sure. And this was a "con" from all the reviews I read but I figured I could work around this anomaly and have so far. Now to dislike 2) The power button is almost impossible to find easily with feel and is not pronounced enough by my like to easily manipulate for a on/off execution. Not sure why they made it so small and almost non-existent but they did. The volume up/down is literally right below it which I had rather it be spaced a bit more or on the other side of the tablet. So the skivvy is this...............for my use that is, it works and has great graphics and a screen that is very vivid. The system is very quick and responsive unlike my Verizon Elippsis tablet which can be a bit sluggish or time lapse. Oh, I forgot to mention.....better buy a SD card for this tablet as well. Only 16GB memory installed and quite honestly I cannot think why they did not have it at 32GB at least. But it will handle a 64GB micro SD card which I have purchased that should give me ample storage capability since I do not plan to load it up but with only necessities for my drone program. If the tablet had much better WiFi pickup and addressed the button issues then this tablet for my need would be a perfect 5.0! Enjoy and well worth the $199 on average this tablet brings in. I included some screen shots but apologize for they were taken with a cell phone. Did not have the time to take out the Canon Rebel to shoot great pics!

<UNBOXING e ASPETTO

Ho acquistato questo prodotto un anno fa quando ero alla ricerca di un dispositivo piùgrande di uno smartphone per poter usufruire in manierapiù fluida e con maggior facilità di contenuti Web via Wifi. La spedizione è stata rapida, un'ottimo servizio assistenza come sempre. All'arrivo il Tablet Nvidia K1 ci arriva in una scatola che protegge la confezione nella quale il tablet è contenuto, una confezione minimale ma ben fatta. Appena estratto ci appare di colore scuro con un ottimo display con una buona risoluzione in Full Hd, 2 camere, frontale ed una posteriore. Con una scocca abbastanza buona in materiale plastico che resiste bene agli urti, finora mi è caduto x errore 2 volte dal tavolo x i vari millecavetti che ho sulla scrivania tra cuffie, cavi usb... Ma ancora è intatto.

<PRESTAZIONI

Una volta avviato, occorre fare la configurazione del proprio account Android, operazione che si svolge in veramente pochissimo tempo, al massimo 2-3 minuti. Al prezzo per il quale è offerto, a 199€ non esiste un concorrente che possa eguagliarlo, se fosse appartenuto ad altri brand, per le sue elevate prestazioni il suo costo sarebbe come minimo attorno ai 350-400€. Su Antutu come prestazioni che offre è valutato sui 87.000 punti, ha ottenuto il merito della votazione di miglior tablet del 2015. Essendo della marca Nvidia, le prestazioni sono elevate ed è perfetto per le operazioni base di navigazione web, come facebook, twitter. Dà il suo meglio durante la visione di film e contenuti video su piattaforme come Youtube o Amazon Prime Video. Non subisce rallentamenti, se avete una linea internet buona. Le fotocamere per essere delle integrate in un tablet non sono niente male, riescono ad effettuare ottime fotografie in piena luce, al buio creano troppo rumore. In allegato inserisco alcune foto. Un plus che possiede è la possibilità di connettersi al proprio pc, con account Nvidia nel caso si possieda anche una Vga dalla 960 in su, è possibile fare un streaming del gioco, facendo lavorare la scheda video ma giocando col proprio dispositivo mobile anche stando sdraiati comodamente sul divano o sul letto. Ha anche una connettività micro-usb, nel quale collegare il gamepad, acquistabile a parte. A livello sonoro, ha una buon livello di audio, nulla di eccezionale ma più che buono per i film e video. Il Touchscreen funziona ma non è perfetto. Il fattore ricarica, nel pacco, non è presente caricatore nè cavo. Ha la ricarica tramite micro-usb, per minimizzare i tempi di caricamento vi CONSIGLIO di usare cavi di alta qualità come quelli di Anker o Ravpower, e caricatori che siamo compatibili con la ricarica veloce, da 2.0-2.4 A. Nel mio caso utilizzando questi accessori ho il tablet carico in circa 1 oretta partendo da un 15-20%. Una volta carico riesce abbastanza facilmente a fare 2 giornate di utilizzo medio di social network e visione di un paio di video. La ram di 2gb è sufficente per tutti gli utilizzi, ad oggi non ho notato blocchi o rallentamenti. In certi frangenti tende a scaldare parecchio, solo nel caso in cui si effettui un gaming continuo o un utilizzo prolungato.

<GIUDIZIO

L'anno scorso acquistai questo modello sia per la qualità-prezzo sia per tutte le soddisfazioni che questo marchio negli anni mi ha dato con le 2 schede video che acquistai negli anni precedenti. Lo consiglio a tutti coloro che vogliono un tablet che sia economico ma che abbia anche delle ottime performance. Io l'ho acquistato sia per produttività, utilizzo dei social e di app come Evernote o Word per l'università sia per vedere slide in pdf sia video o film. Se cercate un device per questi utilizzi, questo è quello che fa per voi.

PRO:
-grande schermo
-ottimo device per utilizzo web
-grande batteria che dura 2 giorni con utilizzo medio
-supporto Nvidia

CONTRO:
-scalda abbastanza se usato per diverse ore
